ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2009
Thursday 16th – Saturday 18th April 2009, Cardiff City Hall, Cardiff
The 2009 Conference is a new way of organising the annual conference of the Association. Instead of the call for papers being organised under a single conference theme, participants can present on whatever topics they wish within broad streams (and open streams) that reflect the core research areas of the membership:
Work, Economy and Society
Medicine, Health and Illness
Consumption
Culture, Media and Society
Theory
Methods
Generations and the Lifecourse
Religion
Social Divisions / Social Identities
Science and Technology Studies
Space and Place
Social Relationships
Education
Open Stream(s)
All BSA study groups are strongly encouraged to contribute posters/ papers and other activities addressed to these streams. There will also be opportunities for study groups to meet independently.
The BSA Presidential Address and two Keynote Plenaries organised to address the Conference theme:
The Challenge of Global Social Inquiry
Within each of the main streams a sub-plenary will be organised to address the Conference theme. These sub-plenaries will be staggered across the Conference timetable.
